luluking3npm
luluking3 is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-12399) that executes malicious code on install (malicious version 0.0.1). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
Malicious code in luluking3 (npm)
What this malware does
On npm install, the package's postinstall hook runs index.js, which reconstructs a URL and shell command from String.fromCharCode char-code arrays (obfuscated behind _0x-prefixed variables), invokes curl -sL -o <hidden.cache path> to download https://aone-kit.oss-cn-beijing.aliyuncs.com/plugins/crypto.js, require()s the downloaded file inside the installer's Node process, and then unlinks it. The remote endpoint is a third-party Aliyun OSS bucket whose contents are mutable and controlled by the publisher, so arbitrary attacker-supplied JavaScript executes with the privileges of the user running npm install. Obfuscation of both the URL and the shell command indicates intent to evade static inspection.

Detection & response playbook
Malicious packageFind it
Scan your lockfiles (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, yarn.lock, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, etc.) and build artifacts for luluking3 (version 0.0.1). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging luluking3 across your stack and pipelines.
If you installed it — respond
Remove luluking3 from your project and lockfile, then assume any secrets accessible to the build or runtime were exposed: rotate API keys, tokens, and credentials, and audit for unexpected outbound activity or persistence.
Did it already run?
If luluking3 was ever installed, its post-install/runtime payload may have already executed. O3's L7 egress monitoring and runtime eBPF sensors detect the credential exfiltration or command-and-control callback after install and block the malicious outbound channel, so you catch and contain the actual compromise — not just the presence of the package.
How O3 protects you
O3 blocks luluking3 before install through its supply-chain scanner, and if it has already run, detects and severs the exfiltration or C2 callback at runtime through L7 egress monitoring and eBPF.
